...fill in the blanks on the still-not-quite-completed Dallas arts district. The curtain went up on the master plan in 1977 and nearly went right down the next year when voters rejected a bond issue to fund it. It wasn't until 1984 that the first element was completed, the Dallas Museum of Art, designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes. Five more years went by before the debut of the Meyerson Symphony Center, a sweeping exercise in creamy culture-luxe by I.M. Pei.

...growing differential in interest rates is only one element in this process. On the day Australia raised interest rates, Britain's Independent newspaper reported that the Gulf Arab states and China, Russia, Japan and France are working to end the use of the dollar in oil trading by 2018. Citing "Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources in Hong Kong," the newspaper said the plan is to price oil using a basket comprising gold, euro, yen, renminbi and a new unified currency for the Gulf Cooperation Council countries...
